I am shocked that someone would ask this question!!!
Why would you get a animal if you could take care of it, due to physical disabilities.
But, you could always hire a dog walker!!!

If you are asking this question I would suggest that you rethink getting a dog!

call me and come get Millie, our puppy. I will let you borrow her for one day.. that will be all it takes.. you will rethink getting a dog.. I just looked down and saw she was tearing up a Christmas card that I thought I had put up .. 6am she wanted outside.. etc etc.. good thing I love her , she is a stinker..

I agree with this. There is so much bending involved with having a dog. I looked up the poo vac. Are you kidding??? That thing is 10 lbs!!! Now that would wreak havoc on your back!!! Forget having a dog!! You would do it an injustice. Are you going to think twice before petting it?
